Good grasp
“Barack Obama’s statements on ‘60 Minutes’ show he has a good grasp on the difficult job of getting on track again. With people like Sam Nunn on his transition team, it appears he will have wise people advising him rather than the ‘yes' crew Bush preferred.
Observation
“The election of Barack Obama to the presidency shows that hard work and perseverance can help you achieve the American dream. So pull up your pants and go after it.
Over their heads
“Your editorial about Obama and those who say he is a Muslim was very appropriate and thought-provoking. Unfortunately for so much of the public, you were writing over their heads.
We'll regret it
“I don’t care what you say, Obama is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’s a Muslim and we’ll regret the day he took office.
Muslim or not
“I don’t really care if Obama is a Muslim as long as he will lead this country out of this quagmire we’re in. Heck, I know some Baptists I don’t trust and some I’m downright afraid of.
Amazing
“It’s amazing to read ignorant comments such as ‘Taxes are the redistribution of wealth’. I am sorry to say, but this is inaccurate. Taxes are the generating of revenue to provide governmental services.
Redistribution of wealth is taxing for the purpose of ‘leveling the playing field’ so all can have the same opportunity, regardless if you have worked hard or not. Surely if you voted for Obama you must familiarize yourself with his Marxist principals.
Wealth
“Everyone is in favor of redistribution of wealth. Those who don’t have it, want some. Those who have it, want more. I’m really amused at the word games we play when it comes to government and politics.
Gun regulations
“I just overheard a discussion about gun control. I’m a gun owner but I have no problem with there being restrictions such as no teflon coated bullets being allowed to the public, background checks being required and not allowing fully-automatic weapons to the public. That’s just a matter of common sense.
The NRA would do itself proud to back some common sense restrictions.
Had our forefathers known about street sweepers, Uzis, etc., they would certainly have factored the Second Amendment accordingly.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Remember back in the early sixties when people were digging bomb shelters in fear of the “Big One” being dropped on us? I recall how an alarm would go off at school, and we would get under our desks. What a joke! Get under our desks when one entire wall was glass!

Outpouring of love
Dear editor:
What words can be added to so many that have been said in prayer and praise for our Haley? We have witnessed an outpouring of love and sacrifice for our families, and we truly cannot express our feelings of humility and gratitude. - Rant and Rave for 2/09/12

Honor sacrifices
Dear editor:

What's at stake here?
Dear editor
It looks like one of my worst fears is about to happen. With President Obama’s withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq it appears the democratic government we set up in Iraq is getting ready to come apart. The Shiites and Sunnis are at each others throats and the Kurds and Turkey are already shooting at each other. Iran seems to be paused to take up the vacuum we will be left and obtain a nuclear weapon. In 2007 the Democrats were clamoring for President Bush to get our troops out of Iraq. - Rant and Rave for 2/07/12

Hold the parsley — Give me the food
Occasionally I will watch one of those food shows on cable television. I find them more curious than I do entertaining. And sometimes, with only 100 channels at my disposal, I have to settle for curious.

'No' to incumbents
Dear editor:
Joe Biden came to Cowtown (Ft. Worth) to raise funds for his boss Obama. Picked up $125,000 from some "Fat Cat" liberals, part of the millionaire's raising Obama's teleprompter fund to over $225 million. - More Opinion Headlines
